In celebration of GMA Pinoy TV’s 17th anniversary this month, the flagship GMA international channel treats the Kapuso abroad with the hottest new offerings that will bring sizzle to the small screens this August!
Starting the month scorching hot is a love story which revolves around two college students and athletes who are marooned on an island after a plane crash in “Return to Paradise.” While surviving the perils of life in the wild, they fall deeply in love with each other. The program is top billed by sought-after Kapuso leading man Derrick Monasterio as Red. Introducing in the cast is Sparkle artist Elle Villanueva as Eden in her first lead role. Making her much awaited comeback on GMA is versatile and award-winning actress Ms. Eula Valdes as Amanda.
Soon to air on GMA Pinoy TV this month is the groundbreaking film-TV collaboration between GMA Network and Quantum Films in “What We Could Be.” The fresh new drama, about a hopeful young woman who dreams of rebuilding their family’s bakery, features Miguel Tanfelix, Yasser Marta, and Ysabel Ortega.
Indeed, no party is complete without the Kapuso royal couple as Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera’s respective birthday celebrations also coincide with the GMA Pinoy TV anniversary month!
For all Saturdays this August, GMA Pinoy Blockbuster treats the Kapuso abroad with Dingdong and Marian’s Bonggang Birthday Month Movie Marathon!
On August 6, Dingdong plays the role of a soon-to-be father who is suddenly forced to protect his pregnant wife from an onslaught of hungry monsters in “Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles.”
In the following week, a fallen angel and a tiyanak join forces to create a superhero whose good deeds will be the two creatures’ way back to heaven and they have their eyes on a barrio lass named Inday, played by Marian in “Super Inday and the Golden Bibe.”
Meanwhile, “Dance of the Steel Bars” follows a retired US fireman and philanthropist who finds himself wrongly accused of murder and imprisoned in the Philippines where he becomes close friends with fellow inmate, Mando (Dingdong).
Capping off the month is the Marian-starrer “My Lady Boss,” where she hires a handsome assistant to annoy her arrogant office rival, but a prohibited office romance is going to blossom between the boss and the assistant.
And as the Kapuso abroad surely could not get enough of DongYan, continue to catch their weekly sitcom “Jose & Maria’s Bonggang Villa” as they portray the most hospitable couple of a garden bed and breakfast business.
Expect more treats and surprises as GMA Pinoy TV turns 17 this August!
